NAME

Media::LibMTP::API::Filetypes - Map extensions & MIME types to libmtp filetypes

VERSION

This document describes version 0.04 of Media::LibMTP::API::Filetypes, released May 31, 2014 as part of Media-LibMTP-API version 0.04.

SYNOPSIS

  use Media::LibMTP::API::Filetypes qw(filetype filetype_from_path);

  $type = filetype('wav');       # File extension (sans '.')
  $type = filetype('audio/ogg'); # Internet media type
  $type = filetype_from_path('/tmp/song.mp3');

DESCRIPTION

Media::LibMTP::API::Filetypes provides two functions to map Internet media types and/or file extensions to the filetype constants defined by libmtp (LIBMTP_FILETYPE_*).

SUBROUTINES

The following functions are exported only by request:

filetype

  $type = filetype($media_type_or_extension);

This takes a filename extension (without the .) or an Internet media type (e.g. audio/ogg) and returns the corresponding libmtp filetype constant. If $media_type_or_extension is not recognized, then it returns LIBMTP_FILETYPE_UNKNOWN.

filetype_from_path

  $type = filetype_from_path($filename);

This takes a filename (with or without directory names) and returns the corresponding libmtp filetype constant (based on the filename's extension only). The file need not exist on disk. If the filename's extension is not recognized (or it has no extension at all), then it returns LIBMTP_FILETYPE_UNKNOWN.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Media::LibMTP::API::Filetypes requires no configuration files or environment variables.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
